Based on the information I could find, anyone that installed a M.2 NVMe SSD in that model was not able to get it to work.

HP lists one M.2 PCIe 2 x 2 drive in the parts list (chapter 3 of the service manual).

All I can show you is the information I posted.

 

NVMe SSD's are up to 5x faster than SATA SSD's depending on the model specs.


Feel free to install a NVMe SSD in your notebook but don't blame me if it doesn't work because the odds of it working are against you.
